Whether motivated by Britain\u2019s grim economic outlook, Charles\u2019 lower popularity numbers than his late mother’s, or, as is most likely, a combination of the two, royal mania hasn’t gripped Britain in the same way as it did during events when the late queen was on the throne.<\/p>\n

Most royal experts don\u2019t believe the monarchy is about to crumble. But many agree that support, visibility and relevance do matter for the royals. The alternative is that people look at the golden carriages, the multimillion-pound crown jewels and the palaces, and ask: What is this all for?<\/p>\n

Further evidence of this apathy can be seen in the dozen or so coronation events around the U.K. that have been canceled because of a lack of demand for tickets. That\u2019s according to a Facebook<\/a> search that is likely a small sample of the actual total of abandoned parties.<\/p>\n

Under gray skies and British drizzle, a green space on London\u2019s King\u2019s Road that had been set aside for coronation picnics was still empty by midday (7 a.m. ET). On the A12, a busy highway linking London and the neighboring county of Essex, motorists were greeted with a large spray-painted banner reading \u201cDOWN WITH THE CROWN.\u201d<\/p>\n

Around 180 miles west of the epic pageantry in London, on Wales\u2019 remote and wild west coast, putting on a royal event seemed like a slam dunk, particularly after the popularity of a similar event for the queen\u2019s jubilee last year. The plan for Aberaeron Yacht Club was to have a traditional \u201ctea by the sea\u201d \u2014 \u201ctea\u201d in this instance meaning an \u201cafternoon tea\u201d comprising sandwiches, scones and of course that quintessential British gin-based cocktail, Pimms, all for 17 pounds (around $21).<\/p>\n

\u201cLimited tickets are available, so book early to avoid disapp<\/a>ointment!\u201d the poster said. That was far from the case.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe put an advert out but I don\u2019t think we had half a dozen responses,\u201d said Amanda Harvey, 59, the club\u2019s bartender. \u201cPeople like the royals but I don\u2019t think Charles is as popular. The queen\u2019s jubilee last year was sold out \u2014 this time it\u2019s been a different story.\u201d<\/p>\n

Across Britain, streets are decked with Union Jack flag bunting and royalist displays in shop windows, but the decor is noticeably more muted and scaled back than at the queen\u2019s platinum jubilee last year, when it seemed as if the whole country was festooned in paraphernalia.<\/p>\n

There are more than 600 street parties, according to the official coronation website. But many seem to be more of an excuse to celebrate a long holiday weekend and share a drink with neighbors, with only a passing mention of Charles in the event blurb.<\/p>\n

Lily Blue Gifts, a store in Hagley, in central England, also summed up the inclusive, royal-agnostic theme: \u201cWhether you\u2019re a true royalist or just love a party with a theme and an extra day off work, we\u2019ve got you covered.\u201d<\/p>\n

In Hackney, London\u2019s famously hipster east London borough, an \u201cAlternative Coronation\u201d celebration was already underway at Chats Palace arts center at 10 a.m. local time (5 a.m. ET). This event was far more centered on celebrating those attending rather than showing any subservience to the king.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWe all deserve a crown!\u201d its flier said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe idea is it\u2019s a safe space for all families in Hackney to come together, no matter what shape or size your family is,\u201d said Perdie Bargh, a producer of the event, which includes arts and crafts, a royal photo booth and a drag queen storytelling show.<\/p>\n

Did Bargh put on the event because she\u2019s a royalist? <\/p>\n

\u201cListen, I\u2019m a producer and I love a theme,\u201d she said. \u201cAnd this is a great theme!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
